Wearing my words

A few weeks ago, I posted a series on blue-and-yellow as spring's next big thing and coincidentally, scooped the leap day episode of 30 Rock with Leap Day Williams.

Today, I am putting my money where my mouth is, wearing this outfit today:




I actually own those blue pants and marigold sweater pictured above.

I had a typical getting ready episode this morning of not knowing what to wear.  I spied the navy blue pants, same as those pictured above, falling off a shelf in my closet, and the exact sweater pictured above, waiting to be folded on a chair in my room.  Fortuitously, this outfit was meant to be today.

I layered the sweater on top of a lacey sleeveless tunic to give myself a little bit of coverage down below, and finished with the blazer for the business outfit my consulting job requires.  A pair of gray, pointed toe flats added softness to the look.  Viola!  Business casual Muslim woman!  Workday, here I come!

Borrowed and Blue (Business Edition)



It's easy to get in a rut, especially when it comes to business attire.  When you know what works, it's hard to stray.

But that desire strikes and that's when you know it's time to remix it up.  Take your ordinary blues and pop in these yellows, marigolds, and amber tones for a new look on an old friend.

Jessica Alba is on board with the blue and yellow combo!  Here's a photo of her from February 15 getting her nails done sporting a style very similar to us this week! (photo credit)

REMIX: Borrowed and blue (Skirt Edition)



What does demure with a flash of spark look like?


This look debuted at Fashion Week in New York, but it's no secret that navy with a splash of yellow is a tried-and-true-tradition.  Since most of us own at least one article of a true navy blue, a little bit of remixing helps to create a new outfit out of old rules, and allows us to look forward to the coming season

Mix it up with some sweaters and skirts as the weather warms up
